Carrie Ann Buck
Buck, a state senator, was a primary sponsor of a 2025 resolution recognizing Nevada’s “strategic partnership and bond of friendship” with Israel, and of the enacted law adding the IHRA antisemitism definition to state discrimination investigations. Her September 2024 posts about Jewish voters drew dual-loyalty-trope accusations.
Buck is the Republican nominee in Nevada’s 1st District and a Nevada state senator.
Her legislative record carries her positions. In March 2025 she was one of four primary sponsors of Senate Joint Resolution 11, which "Recognizes the strategic partnership and bond of friendship with, and expresses the Nevada Legislature’s support for, the State of Israel"; the resolution was referred to committee and received no passage vote. She also sponsored Senate Bill 179, which requires the Nevada Equal Rights Commission to consider whether alleged discrimination was motivated by antisemitism using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition; the bipartisan bill was enacted in June 2025.
In September 2024 she posted on X about Jewish voters and the Democratic Party. Per News from the States’ race coverage, she asked "How do any Jewish Americans continue to support the Democrat party?" attached to a repost of Sen. Tom Cotton criticizing Vice President Harris for putting "more pressure on Israel than Hamas"; Democrats characterized the post as "a dangerous antisemitic trope" suggesting dual loyalty. The Nevada Senate Democratic Caucus and the state party leveled the same accusation; the second post, listing Trump’s pro-Israel record and his family, is carried by the state Democratic party’s attack page, a partisan source quoted with that label. Her defenders’ framing was that the posts criticized Democratic policy, not Jewish voters.
No statement on U.S. military aid, aid to Palestinians, or the conduct of the war was located; her candidate questionnaires left the Israel questions unanswered, and her campaign site does not mention Israel.
